Somatics Beginner’s Course (pre-recorded)
Somatic Movement is a gentle modality, originally developed by Thomas Hanna, which retrains your nervous system to overcome chronic pain caused by trauma, stress, injury or habits. It is a slow, conscious form of physical movement, and is suitable for all abilities. It is also a wonderful way to become more aware of your internal sensations, which is essential for learning new patterns. For more information about what Somatics is and how it works, you can visit this page, or of course you can contact us if you have questions.

How we do it?
In these 4x 90-minute, pre-recorded sessions, you will receive a grounding in the Somatics approach, including the basis of the theory underpinning the practice, and experiencing a range of Somatics movements.
This is a highly practical and experiential course - you will need space to lie down on the floor, on a carpet or exercise mat, and preferably with enough space to spread your arms out to the sides (as if you were doing a snow angel!).
Please note This course will be available from late Sept/early Oct 2023. If you order now, you will be sent the recording for each session as soon as it becomes available.

I am trained to deliver Somatic Movement classes, in the tradition of Thomas Hanna. I received my training under Sarah Warren, at the Somatic Movement Center. In my pure Somatics classes, I teach only the Clinical Somatics self-care approach and movements - although I may add some guided relaxation at the ends of the classes.
